http://0rz.tw/2745I Stopping LeBron a Tall Order for Pierce and Co. By Peter F. Stringer Celtics.com May 6, 2008 When Michael Jordan was at the height of his powers in the early 90s, the Cleveland Cavaliers were always looking for new ways to defend him, because they learned repeatedly that there really was no way to stop him. 当Michael Jordan在90年代早期的全盛时期，克里夫兰骑士队总是要想新的办法防守他 ，因为他们不断重复地听到，真的没有办法挡住他。 The Celtics are about to find out if there's a way to stop his protege. But one thing's certain. The Celtics don't expect one guy to do it. Celtics差不多也要找到方法阻挡他的门徒。但有件事是确定的。Celtics不期待一个人 作到。 "There are no LeBron stoppers and we're not looking for one," Celtics Coach Doc Rivers said. "We don't want to put anybody on that island." “没有LeBron克星，我们也不会试着找出这个人。”Doc Rivers教练说”我们不想把任 何人丢到那个岛上。” In Jordan's time, the best bet was to find a long, physical guy who could belly up to His Airness and attempt to keep him in check. The New York Knicks had some success against Jordan with Gerald Wilkins, Dominque's younger brother who was well known for his defensive abilities and eventually earned the label of the "Jordan stopper". 在Jordan的时代，最好的赌注是找到一个长人、打球很粗暴的家伙，让他飞不起来，同 时尝试压制住他。纽约尼克队用 Gerald Wilkins得到一点小成功，他是Dominique的弟 弟，以防守能力闻名，最後得到了”Jordan克星”的标签。 So the Cavs went out and acquired Wilkins in the hopes of stopping Jordan. The only thing they ended up doing was embarrassing Wilkins. Jordan took Wilkins' nickname personally and lit him up in the 1993 Eastern Conference Semifinals. 所以骑士队找来了Wilkins希望能挡住Jordan。最後他们唯一作到的事是羞辱了Wilkins 。Jordan把Wilkins的绰号当作私人恩怨，然後在1993年东区准决赛打爆了他。 Ruben Patterson once tried to call himself the Kobe stopper, but later backed off the nickname, and probably with good reason. There's just no need to incite great scorers and give them any more incentive than they already have to torch you. Ruben Patterson 也曾叫自己Kobe克星，但是稍後收回了这个绰号，也许有个好理由。 没有必要煽动伟大的得分好手，给他们更多诱因，他们本来就能够打爆你。 So you won't be hearing from Soulja Boy, Chamillionaire or any other rappers about James being overrated, and you won't hear about any Boston area eateries giving away "Cry Baby" shirts at the Garden. It's nothing but respect for King James coming from the Celtics camp as their second round series with the Cavaliers gets underway. 所以你不会听到 Soulja Boy、Chamillionaire或是任何饶舌歌手有关James被高估的谈 话，或是任何波士顿的餐厅在花园发”Cry Baby”的T恤。这是Celtics阵营在第二轮要 对上骑士队时，对於King James的尊敬。 That isn't to say that the Celtics don't have a plan to try and stop him. So what's the strategy against James? 这不是说Celtics对於尝试要阻挡他没有计画。所以计画是什麽呢？ "The object with him is to slow him down," said Celtics Captain Paul Pierce, who'll likely be checking James more often than not. "A guy who has the ultimate green light to shoot whenever he wants, [he's] tough to guard." “目标是要让他慢下来。”Celtics队长Pierce说，他可能会跟James有更多碰撞。”当 他有终极无限开火权时，他是很难守的。” Pierce and James have similar builds and even some similarities in their games. While the action-figure sculpted James is known for his great strength in attacking the basket, Pierce's physique belies his ability to take contact and still get to the hoop as well. And after several matchups over the last few years, Pierce knows James' game as well as anyone. Pierce和James有类似的体格，甚至打球方式也有点类似。当有动作片英雄体格的James 以攻击篮框的超强体能闻名时，Pierce的体型可以掩护他的承受碰撞的能力，并且仍然 朝向篮框投出球。在过去几年交手过几次之後，Pierce像任何人一样了解 James的比赛。 "You want to mix it up on him, throw different defenders at him," Pierce said. "Limit his catches, make it difficult for him to get easy baskets and make some of these other guys beat you." “你想要试试看各种不同组合，把不同的防守者丢给他。”Pierce说”限制他接球，让 他很难轻易投篮，让别的家伙打倒你。” The Celtics are certainly familiar with some of those other guys. The Cavs' deadline deal netted them two outside shooters who wore Celtics green not so long ago. Celtics 当然很熟悉这些”别的家伙”。骑士队在交易大限前网罗了两个不久前才穿着 绿色球衣的外线射手。 Wally Szczerbiak may dole out unsolicited high fives and step on the three -point line more times than you'd care to remember, and he may not have textbook hand placement on his shot (he actually uses two hands to shoot the ball), but he's a guy you can't leave open. He can also post up smaller guards, and he's likely to employ that strategy against Ray Allen. Wally Szczerbiak也许会来些未经许可的击掌，在三分线出手的次数会是你以前懒得去 记得的，他也许没有教科书般的出手姿势(实际上他用两手投篮)，但他是个你不能放空 档的人。他也可以背对单打一下小型的後卫，而他可能会对Ray Allen用一点这招。 And Delonte West is just as capable of knocking down a lefty three in transition as he is of ball-faking you and beating you off the dribble to the rack with a leaning layup. 而Delonte West可以在攻防转换的时候用左手投三分，他也可以来点假动作，用运球打 倒你来个身体倾斜的上篮。 Rivers knows both guys well and reminded the media at Monday's practice that James' teammates are better than people think, and that James is ready to take advantage of that. Rivers了解这两个家伙，同时在礼拜一的练习提醒媒体 James的队友比人们想的要好， 而James准备好要用这项优势了。 "It's a team game and the guy who understands that more than anybody is LeBron, " Rivers said. "If you're gonna try to double team him then he's going to try to find guys. If we do double team, we have to find those guys as well." “这是个团队的比赛，而有个人比其他人都理解这点，那就是James。”Rivers 说”如 果你尝试着要去包夹他，他会试着去找到其他人。如果我们要包夹他，我们也要找到这 些其他人。” At this point, after taking the Cavaliers to the NBA Finals last season, James has basically seen all there is to see with regard to defensive tactics. It will likely come down to execution of defensive principles and good old-fashioned effort to put a lid on the NBA's top scorer. 目前为止，在去年带领骑士队打进总冠军赛後，James 基本上已经看过了差不多所有的 防守策略。最後全部都要回归到防守原则的执行、还有像古早一样好的努力，来封锁住 NBA最好的得分好手。 补一句Doc Rivers昨天练习後说的话： ``There will be many bodies in front of him, as long as there are not too many bodies in front of him,'' Rivers said. “”他前面会有很多青春的、年老的肉体，多到不能再多的肉体横陈。”Rivers说。 --
